I hear you jp. Something about the simplicity of Taos and Earth Ships is attractive to me.
I’d rather be free and beholden to Mother Nature and suffer her ravages than to be a slave and more comfortable and held hostage by my fellow man, who is also beholden to Mother Nature.

December 27, 2010 at 3:58 PM #644942barnaby33ParticipantI’ve had to tear down the meme of, “first time buyers have had to start somewhere,” many times over the years. Its an inflationista mindset where getting ones foot in the door is merely the first step to a brighter housing future. Of course it isn’t true, but don’t let that get in the way of your self-satisfaction.
While it is true that almost all first time buyers overstepped in the last decade, it wasn’t just them. it was pretty much everyone. Anyone who didn’t sell at the top and rent anyway. A few played the game well enough to consolidate their gains, but not many.
The OP asked what I think is an extremely valuable question, one that in varying forms has been asked over and over on this forum since it began.
Yes you were being tendentious, Its ok you can just get over it!

No tax deduction means you’re out if pocket more per year. So maybe there is some rational component to leaving mortgages early
